Josie and The Pussycats (2001)

30 Times Movies Went Overboard With Product Placement

Like Austin Powers, Josie & The Pussycats attempted to joke about the ridiculousness of selling stuff through art, all the while making a pretty penny off of product placement themselves. The whole premise of this film condemns the notion of selling out –the movie’s main baddies are music industry bigwigs who try to work subliminal ads into the Pussycats’ songs. Ironically, 70 different products were featured in the film with the reported aim of advertising.
